RobertMillan, why the move to Eivissa? It's called Ibiza in English -- Tarquin 11:32 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
I agree. This should probably be moved back. -- Zoe
I'm equivocal. The names Majorca and Minorca are unequivocally English, because they're not identical with Spanish/Catalan forms. However, for Ibiza we just use the Spanish form. The decision to make Eivissa the primary form within Spain could mean that now we in English should shift to that - since we haven't got a truly English form to take priority. (I've added a temporary line to the article saying it's usually known as Ibiza in English -- until we resolve this.) --Gritchka
It's not up to Wikipedia to dictate what happens to names. Most english speakers know it as Ibiza. We should move it back to there until the world at large changes -- though we should mention that this change is taking place in the article -- Tarquin 20:53 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Hi! I'm from Madrid (Spain), and I must add that everybody here says "Ibiza" instead "Eivissa"... by the way, it's the first time i heard of that name (maybe in Cataluņa they call it that way, but not the most people in Spain). Thanks.
Pronounciation
When people use the name "Ibiza," do they mostly/always pronounce it as "Ibitha," or is that just a weird thing that BBC DJs do? (I'm a lazy American, and I like my 'z's ;-) —User:Mulad (talk) 02:30, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
